1 INTRODUCTION
This manual is generated through the configuration tool called
Seamate. The manual is therefore customised for each system
delivery.
The intention with this manual is to explain the functionality for
each mayor component and the total system as its configured
for each delivery.
How to operate the system is described in a manner where we
assume that the system is in operation and that normal
operations shall be carried out. This manual is not made for
advanced troubleshooting.
The manual contains five chapters

2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 Remote Control System Functional
Description
The Kongsberg Maritime C20 Marine Automation system
consists of, among others the AutoChief C20 Propulsion
Control System. Modular design allows flexibility in
configuring the system to individual requirements, covering the
whole range from standard propulsion configurations to highly
advanced twin or quadruple engine installations with high,
medium or low speed engines connected to reduction, reversing
gear or variable pitch propellers. This system may be a part of a
total integrated ship control system consisting of other sub.
Systems such as:
Alarm and monitoring system.
Auxiliary control system.
Power management system.
Ballast automation system.
HVAC (air conditioning).
Management support
The system is based on Kongsberg Maritime unified automation

concept, where each individual ship configuration is built up
using standard modules communicating on CAN- and local area
networks. The C20 system is configurable for all ship types.
The AutoChief C20 Propulsion Control System is designed for
remote control of the main engine from the combined telegraph
and manoeuvring lever in the wheelhouse. By moving this lever,
the system will automatically start, reverse, stop and speed-set
the main engine.

2.10 Remote control system functions

2.10.1 Start block
As long as any of the below mentioned conditions is active the
engine is inhibited for starting.
2.10.1.1 Engine tripped
Engine has tripped because of a shut down detected and created

by the safety system.
Details to be found in the alarm list on the Safety system mimic
pages.
2.10.1.2 Start air pressure low
To secure a safe starting of the main engine a minimum starting

air pressure is required. The value for minimum starting air
pressure allowed is preset in parameters in the remote control
system. If the pressure is below this preset level Start Block is
activated.
2.10.1.3 RPM detector failure
RPM monitoring is critical for starting and running of the

engine, So if the RPM measuring system is experiencing a
redundant detector failure the engine is inhibited for starting.
2.10.1.4 Governor not connected
When the engine is operated from the local control stand and
fuel control is carried out manually the Electric fuel actuator has
to be de-clutched from the fuel linkage system. If the Actuator
is not engaged to the fuel linkage, starting is inhibited.
2.10.1.5 Start air valve blocked
For safety reasons, when the main engine is not in use, the main
start air valve is mechanically blocked. To be able to start the
engine the main start air valve has to be set to service position.
2.10.1.6 Start air distributor blocked
For safety reasons, when the main engine is not in use, the start
air distributor is blocked. To be able to start the engine the start
air distributor has to be set to service position.
AA-0381-A
35
2.10.1.7 Turning gear engaged
The turning gear is mechanically engaged to the flywheel. The

main engine is therefore inhibited from starting.
2.10.2 Starting the main engine

If the engine is prepared for start the engine is started
automatically in ahead (or astern) direction from simply by
setting the bridge handle from stop to any position in ahead (or
astern) direction
2.10.2.1 Slow turning
If the engine has been stopped for a certain time (normally 30

minutes), the first start will include one revolution with slow
turning of the main engine. When a start order is given from
bridge (by setting the bridge lever from stop to any position
ahead (or astern)) the slow turning valve will be activated, and a
limited amount of starting air will be supplied to the main
engine, the engine will rotate slowly on starting air.
When one revolution is completed, the engine will be started in
a normal way. During the slow turning sequence slow turning
indication will be shown in the control room and bridge ACP.
If one revolution with slow turning is not accomplished within
the correct time, alarm "slow turning failure" is released in
control room and bridge.
Slow turning may be cancelled by operating the "cancel
limitation" pushbutton on the ECR and bridge unit.
Note !
Some engines may not be equipped by slow turning

valve.
2.10.2.2 Normal start
Starting of the main engine is performed when the bridge lever

is moved from stop to any position in ahead (or astern
direction). The system will activate the starting air solenoid
valve, and starting air is supplied to the engine. System will at
the same time give a fixed starting-speed set-point to the
governor.
36
AA-0381-A
When the engine speed has reached the start-air / fuel change
over level, starting air will be switched off, and fuel will be
supplied.
The starting-speed set-point will be kept for 6 seconds
(adjustable), and then the speed set-point to the governor will be
adjusted in accordance with the set-point of the bridge lever.
2.10.2.3 Restarting
If the engine fails to start (run on fuel) after the starting air is
switched off, the system will automatically try to restart the
engine. Indication for "repeated starts" will show on bridge and
ECR. The starting speed set-point to the governor will at the
second (and third) starting attempt be higher (heavy start), and
the fuel limiters for scavenge air and torque in the governor will
be cancelled. If the second start also fails, the system will try a
third start. After 3 failed starting attempts, start fail alarm will
be released.
2.10.2.4 Starting failure
Starting failure is detected when one of the following conditions

occurs, and is indicated on ECR and Bridge ACP.
3 failed starts
Start too long
Slow turning failure
"Start too long" means engine is unable to reach the startair/fuel-change level within a specific time period.
Start failures are reset by setting the manoeuvring lever to stop
2.10.2.5 Heavy start
Heavy start is a automatic function activated in two segments of

the propulsion control system. Firstly in the remote control
system as a heavy start RPM set-point, thereafter as a higher
pump index set-point to the fuel actuator. The Heavy start
function is automatically activated if the crash astern function is
activated.
AA-0381-A
37
2.10.3 RPM limiters

For protecting the engine and its accesories against thermal
stress and destruction and unnecessary wear and tear some fixed
RPM Limiters are included in the system.
2.10.3.1 Manual RPM
This function is also called Chief RPM Limit. Its a parameter in

the remote control system, initiated by the ACP for pre-setting
maximum allowed RPM for ahead or astern running. If the RPM
command is set higher, the command will be limited to the value
inserted in this parameter.

2.10.3.2 Load program
When setting the bridge handle to Navigation Full position, load

program will be activated. This will be indicated as "load up
program active" on the ACP. The purpose of this function is to
prevent engine internal temperatures i.e liners and pistons, from
increasing too fast when higher load is applied.
When MCR is obtained (in 30 minutes) the load up program
active indication will disappear.
The same function may also apply for the opposite purpose.
When reducing speed from Navigation Full to full ahead the
load down function is activated, slowly decreasing the speed to
allow the engine to cool down (normally 15 minutes).

2.10.3.5 Slow Down
RPM
A slow down is caused by a input signal detected by the slow

down module. If such a signal is detected, the safety system will
send a speed reduction request to the remote control system. The
speed set-point will after a pre-warning time be reduced to the
predefined slow down level.

2.10.3.6 Barred speed range/Critical RPM limiter
Critical RPM avoidance

In order to avoid operation of the main engine in critical (barred)
speed areas, there is provided a command limiter function. If
bridge command is within this area, the "critical RPM limit" on
bridge and in control room ACP will turn up.
The system will during acceleration keep the engine running at
the lower critical speed until command has reached the upper
limit, during de-acceleration it will keep the engine running at
the upper limit until command has reached the lower limit.
There is possibility for two different critical RPM avoidance
areas.
Critical RPM alarm
If the engine RPM run within the critical (or barred) speed range
too long time, indication for "critical RPM" will be shown on
the ACP.
There are two critical RPM zones available.

2.10.3.7 Shaft Generator control mode
When shaft generator (PTO) is provided with a constant

frequency gear (CFR), an optional function in the remote control
system is available in order to avoid black out during speed
reduction and slow down.
An input signal from the generator breaker in the main
switchboard "shaft generator connected" should be connected to
the remote control system. The remote control system will give
the signal "start diesel generator & disconnect shaft generator".
When shaft generator is connected to the switchboard, the
engine speed should be above a certain level (normally 75% of
MCR, adjustable). If speed command is ordered below the
lowest working level for shaft generator, from the bridge handle,
or because of slow down, the following sequence take place:
The speed will rapidly be decreased to shaft generator

minimum working level.
"RPM holding" indication in bridge and control room
ACP
Signal "start diesel generator starting & disconnect shaft
generator" will be given to the main switchboard.
Speed will be kept at the shaft generator minimum
working level until signal "shaft generator connected"
goes off, or maximum 60 seconds (adjustable).
After the signal "shaft generator in service" extinguish,
the speed will be reduced to the required level (bridge
handle requirements or slow down level).
The same sequence applies when STOP or CRASH
MANOEUVRING order are given.
For shut down and emergency stop, the system will immediately
stop the engine, resulting in a black-out.

2.10.4.1 Rough sea mode (option)
The rough sea mode is optionally provided in order to avoid

over-speed trip during rough sea conditions.
Selecting rough-sea mode is to be done from the ACP menu.
When rough sea mode is selected, and over-speed is detected,
the following sequence will take place.
When the engine speed reaches the over-speed level, the

fuel will be cut-off, the engine speed will decrease.
When the engine speed reaches shut down reset level, fuel
will be supplied, and the engine will be running at this
level.
To reset, move speed-set lever back to reset level and
move handle to desired RPM.
There is an upper speed limit for this function (adjustable). The

upper limit is provided to avoid fluctuation between over-speed,
and stop.

2.10.5 Reversing the main engine

2.10.5.1 Reversing
The engine is reversed automatically to ahead (or astern)

direction from bridge by setting the bridge handle from stop to
any position in ahead (or astern) direction.
Reversing sequence will be carried out prior to the starting
sequence.
If the engine is running above the brake air level, brake air will
be supplied when engine has reached down to brake air level, in
order to perform the reversing sequence as fast as possible.
2.10.5.2 Crash Astern
Crash manoeuvring means quick reversing of the engine from

ahead to astern. Its used in emergency situation, when the
bridge lever is moved from full ahead to full astern position.
Move the bridge lever from full ahead to full astern

position.
"crash astern" indication on bridge and control room ACP.
Stop signal will be given to main engine.
Engine speed will reduce to brake air level
Engine will be reversed, and start air will be supplied
Heavy start and cancel limiters signals will be given to the
governor.
When the speed reaches the fuel/start air change level in
astern direction, the start air will be switched off, and fuel
will be supplied.
2.10.6 Stopping the main engine

The engine is stopped automatically by setting the bridge handle
to STOP position. The stop solenoid valve is activated, and stop
signal is given to governor to set the fuel rack in zero position.
As a back up for the stop function, emergency stop switches are
provided on the telegraph panel in bridge and control room (and
on the engine side control box), hardwired directly to safety
system.

2.10.7 Remote control system auxiliary

functions
2.10.7.1 Auxiliary blower control MAN B&W
The system consists of one or three electric blowers mounted on

the engine. They are mechanically connected to the common air
receiver (Scavenging air receiver). During low load condition or
prior to start the auxiliary blower will operate. They can be
manually started from a switch in the Indication panel unit or
operated in Auto, selected by the same switch. In auto mode the
operation of the blowers are controlled by the pressure switch
mounted in the scavenging air receiver. The Aux. blowers will
automatically be switched of when the scavenging air pressure
reaches 0.65 Bar
2.10.7.2 Fuel cam monitoring
The fuel cam monitoring system secures that all fuel cams are
properly changed for starting the main engine in the requested
direction.
2.10.7.3 VIT control function (option)
The remote control system may as an option control the VIT

system (Variable Injection Timing) provided optionally as a
replacement off the mechanical VIT system for the MAN B&W
engines.
AA-0381-A

2.10.8 Load Change Dependant Cylinder

Lubrication Function
This function allows for additional cylinder lubrication. The
condition to give extra cylinder lubrication is when a distinct
and permanent load change is detected.
2.10.9 CCO, Cylinder cut out function

This functions main purpose is to improve the stability of rpm
when the engine is operated at low load and rpm. The system is
cutting the operation of cylinders in groups, normally 2.
Meaning that during this operation only half of the cylinders
will be in operation simultaneously. The operation of the
cylinder groups (Group1 and 2) is alternating on a time basis.
The reason is to avoid excessive amounts of cylinder lubricating
oil as the surplus oil is burned. Another reason is for keeping the
same thermal load on all cylinders.
In order to obtain a safe start the cut out system is disabled
during the starting period and until the engine is running stable.
If cancel limiters is activated or if the RPM command from the
telegraph lever differ from the measured RPM within predefined limits the cut out system is disabled and all cylinders
will be active.

2.11 Safety system functions

2.11.1 Safety function Shut down
2.11.1.1 Shut Down Function (1 6)
Then engine will automatically shut down (stop), if any of the

shut down sensors is activated. The emergency stop solenoid
valve will be activated, and the fuel rack to zero order is given
to the governor. The engine will then stop. The following inputs
for shut down sensors are provided:
Shut down 1:
(Fixed as over speed)
Shut down 2-6:
(To be project specified for the actual

project)
Custom Shut down 1-5

project)
The input sensors may be of digital (on/off) or analogue type.

The shut downs may be configured as cancellable or non
cancellable type. Non cancellable types will stop the engine
immediately.
Shut down is reset (after the sensor is de-activated) by setting
the manoeuvring lever at the control stand in control to stop
position. The engine may then be restarted.
2.11.1.2 Cancellable Shut Down
It will be possible, during the pre-warning time, to cancel the

shut down by pressing the Cancel SHD pushbutton on the
ACP unit.
There will be time delay on the cancellable shut downs. The

The emergency stop solenoid valve is directly activated through

the ESU when one of the pushbuttons is activated. Stop signal is
sent to the RCS and zero fuel order is given to the governor. The
engine will stop, and an alarm "emergency stop" is activated",
Information of which of the emergency stop pushbuttons that are
activated will be shown on the ACP.
Emergency stop may be activated from all control stands at any
time, regardless of the control position. Emergency stop is
simply deactivated when the pushbutton is pressed once more.
2.11.1.4 Over-speed Shut Down
Over speed is detected by the RPM detection system, from tacho

pick-ups which are mounted towards the engine fly-wheel, when
the engine revolution exceeds the over speed level (109% of
MCR, adjustable).
A hardwired signal from the RPM detection system is connected
to a shut down input on the ESU for direct activation of
emergency stop solenoid valve.
And the RPM detection system will by dual redundant CAN
order shut down of engine to RCS, Safety System and Governor
System. This will cause the emergency stop solenoid valve to be
activated and the fuel rack position moved to zero.
The engine will stop and the alarm "over speed" will be shown
on the ACP.
Over speed is reset by setting the manoeuvring lever at the
control stand to stop position. The engine may then be restarted.

The engine will automatically reduce the speed corresponding to

slow (adjustable) if any of the slow down sensors is activated.
Slow down signal will be sent to the remote control system
and/or the governor, which takes action. Slow down is indicated
on the ACP. The inputs for slow down sensors are as follows:
Slow down 1-20:

project)
The input sensors may be of digital (on/off) or analogue type.

The slow downs may be configured as cancellable or non
cancellable type. Non cancellable types will reduce the engine
speed immediately; while there will be time delay on the
cancellable ones. The delay time may be adjusted individually
for each sensor. The cancellable slow-downs may be cancelled
individually from the ACP in control room, regardless of control
position, it will additionally be possible to cancel all slowdowns from bridge while in bridge control, control room in
control room control and from engine side while in emergency
control.
Slow down is either automatically reset after the sensor is deactivated, or alternatively, it is reset when the sensor is deactivated, and the bridge handle is set below the slow down
level.
A none cancellable slowdown will activate speed reduction
immediately after the time delay has run out.
Slow down action is performed as follows:
Bridge Control
Automatically by the remote control

system.
Control Room Contr. Automatically by the governor or

manually by the operator

Governor management
In bridge control, the governor is managed by the remote control
system.
In control room control, the governor is managed either by the
AutoChiefC20 ECR manoeuvre handle or the separate control
room manoeuvring handle.
2.12.1 Constant fuel mode

This function is used when the governor system is made by
Kongsberg Maritime a.s.
The RPM is continuously measured and when the RPM has
remained constant for a predefined time the governor system
will be informed that the constant fuel mode shall be engaged.
The governor will then lock the fuel actuator output to a fixed
fuel index. When the Fuel index is locked the RPM will
fluctuate. This function is required in some cases i.e. when
indicator diagrams shall be made and similar. During this
sequence the RPM is continuously monitored and compared
with an upper and lower RPM deviation parameter. If the RPM
fluctuates above or below these limits, the fuel actuator output
will be unlocked and the RPM is governed back to the set-point
requested from the remote control system.
It is also limiters for which rpm areas this function may be used.
I.e. its not allowed in low rpm areas where the engine may stop
if the fuel amount is not controlled continuously or, in high rpm
areas where the engine may increase to over speed rpm level.

The fuel limiters for scavenging air and torque may be lifted by
10% from either the remote control system or from the switch in
control room console. It will also cancel manual fuel and rpm
limiter.
2.12.10 Load change dependent

lubricator function (Option)
The governor may as an option control the load change
dependent lubricator function provided for the MAN B&W
engines. The governor will operate a solenoid valve on the
lubricator system, which increases the amount of lubricator oil
when a distinct and permanent load change is detected.
2.12.11 Power loss (black out)

4.4 Preventive maintenance
4.4.1 General
Kongsberg Maritime recommends the following preventive
maintenance routine for the AutoChief C20 Propulsion Control
system with process control and power management:
Weekly:
Clean all operator panels with a dry cloth, and run
the on-line lamp and unit function tests. Clean all
filters for units equipped with fans.
3-Monthly: Check rpm pickups
6-Monthly: Check cables and cable entrances, electrical screwterminals, fuse connections and plug connections.
Yearly:
Check and if necessary calibrate the input sensors
and output actuators according to the
manufacturers instructions.
The Classification Societies and/or the Ships Maintenance Plan
(or Sites Maintenance Plan) should be referred to for obtaining
a recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of
measuring-points and the alarm-system.
AA-0381-A
103

Kongsberg Maritime recommends that the operation of each unit
and its functions is checked after any major maintenance. By
major maintenance is understood the removing, testing,
calibrating and re-installing or replacement of pressure sensors,
temperature sensors etc. After this type of maintenance, we
recommend each unit to be re-commissioned according to the
instruction given in this manual.
4.4.2 Weekly maintenance

This maintenance routine applies to units equipped with lamp
and/or function test buttons. Pushing function test buttons will
not interrupt normal system operation.
AutoChief Control Panel (ACP), Lever Telegraph Unit (LTU),
Pushbutton Telegraph (PBT), Multiple Purpose Panel (MPP)
and the multiple Purpose display (MPD)
Each week do the following for each of these Units:
1
Clean the surface of the units. Wipe the surfaces with a

clean damp cloth. For heavier cleaning, use a clean, damp
cloth which has been dipped in a solution of a mild dish
detergent and water. Wring out firmly before wiping the
unit. Never use cleaning solutions containing spirit or
alcohol.
Push LAMP TEST.

All LEDs should be lit for about five seconds.
if the test fails, refer to the trouble shooting section.
4.4.2.1 Distributed Processing Units
The distributed processing units do not require weekly

maintenance.
4.4.3 3-monthly maintenance

Visual inspection of system parts is recommended to prevent
malfunctions and to ensure safe operation. For rpm pick-ups :
Remove dirt and check distance, while engine is stopped
104
AA-0381-A
4.4.4 6-monthly maintenance

Where applicable; check the following parts of the system each
6-month period:
1
Check cables and cable entrances for damage to the cable.
Tighten all electrical screw-terminals.
Tighten all plug connections.
4.4.5 Yearly maintenance

Visual inspection of system parts is recommended to prevent
malfunctions and to ensure safe operation. Each year, check and
if necessary calibrate the input sensors and output actuators
according to the manufacturers instructions. In general, it is not
necessary to re-calibrate sensors if the input signal is correct.
Compare the input signal to this system, with the input signals
on other systems or local gauges.
In particular for the fuel rack : check max fuel position on the
fuel pumps, and adjust max fuel in governor parameter, while
engine is stopped
Refer to the Classification Societies and/or the Ships
Maintenance Plan (or Sites Maintenance Plan) for obtaining a
recommended preventive maintenance schedule for test of
measuring-points and the alarm-system. The societies normally
recommend a 3-monthly to 6-monthly schedule.

4.6.3 How to replace the Motor Control

Unit in the Digital Servo Unit (DSU)
The application and communication network are affected when
(part of) a Motor Control Unit (MC) is faulty, so a faulty Unit
must be repaired or replaced quickly. We recommend having a
spare Unit available to restore operation as quickly as possible.
Precautions Observe the following precautions when replacing
a faulty Unit.
After replacement be sure that there are no errors with the
new Unit.
When returning a faulty Unit for repair, make a detailed
record of the problem and return the Unit to your nearest
sales representative.
If there is a faulty contact, put some industrial alcohol on a
clean cotton cloth and wipe the surface.
Use the following procedure when it is necessary to replace a
MC Unit.
1.
Make a note of the switch settings of the MC Unit to be
replaced.
2.
Turn OFF the system power supply.
3.
Replace the MC Unit, and reconnect the wiring as before.
4.
Set the switch settings for the MC Unit.
5.
Turn ON the system power supply.

4.6.4 How to replace the ELACT

Perform the following procedure
1.
2.
3.
Replace the ELACT

Perform origin teaching (if using position control).
When replacing the ELACT, the ELACT specific origin
position (Z-phase) may slip, so be sure to perform origin
teaching.
Refer to the manual for the position controller you use
for how to perform origin teaching.
Set up the absolute encoder (ABS).
If using ELACT with an absolute encoder, when
replacing the ELACT, the absolute data in the absolute
encoder will be cleared, so you need to set up the data
again. Also, the rotation limit data will be different from
before you replaced the ELACT, so initialize the Motion
Control Unit settings.
